Simply Beautiful! - and worth a thousand words.... (Jun/07/2009 )
Well it's a thread about beauty. Back to some new stuff:
Jan Švankmajer, a Czech surrealist artist and filmmaker. He produced a lot of weird, crazy, funny, disturbing and interesting films, mostly short films. Several you'll find at youtube
I guess they are all worth watching, but especially the films with clay and stop motion technique are great. E.g. Food, Meat Love, Dimensions of Dialogue, Punch and Judy.
And because it's bioforum here is "Historia naturae":
BTW the music is from Zdenek Liska. I love it.
I know his work...yup, pretty cool but am not so sure about the music....

Tom Hardwidge’s Steampunk Arthrobots:
pretty cool too, and I guess this are the critters that badger you when you have nightmares...

yup, but I guess they're a bit hard to squash.....how faithful are they to the original, dr H?
Have a look yourself on the originals:

Woaw Cassandra, these are beautful indeed 
. That reminds me a show I saw on TV where a woman was trying to seel her "art": insects made with her nail clips (where is that throwing up Pumpkin?).
Can't see the video from here. I'll look at home.
